Chapter 656 ( Return - I )

15 minutes had passed since Cloud had taken the test of having overcome the underwater ruins, time that Shizuku had used to be able to recover after using her new magic so carelessly.

"I think it's time for us to go back" - Shea said as she looked around - "It's been a short time, but I'm a little worried about Myu-chan."

"I think so too" - nodded Cloud as he nodded calmly - "At least we checked that Meiru-san is alive, and we completed the maze."

"Not in the way I wished" - muttered Kaori with a cold face.

The girls also showed a similar expression while Cloud sighed heavily.

"The past can't be changed, but they can make the future" - Cloud said while shaking his head.

"You're right, what happened in the past was terrible" - Yue muttered while frowning - "And we have no way to remedy it, that's why we have to eliminate Ehit."

"With greater reason" - added Tio with a huge and sadistic smile, one she had never shown before, after all, she was more of a masochist than someone violent.

Cloud smiled slightly when he saw how the girls seemed to have regained their good spirits.

The group quickly walked to the seal at the back of the room, and left the place.

"They are much closer than we are, though this shouldn't come as a surprise when we were only united by our personal desires."

Meiru was silent for a few seconds before she felt her consciousness slowly disappear.

* * * * *

The group slowly watched their surroundings change, from the dark color of Meiru's room, to a light color.

"I'm going out to investigate, this place looks normal, though you never know when outside there might be danger, or worse, be flooded" - Cloud said seriously.

"Ok, go, we'll wait here" - Yue said as she rolled her eyes at him.

Cloud nodded before leaving the place, and as he had thought, just outside the cavern was completely flooded, no, the cavern was submerged, although a quick glance towards the surface, made him see that they were not that deep, so with a few seconds swimming they would get there without much trouble.

Having discovered this, Cloud returned and explained the general situation to the girls.

"Ok, I guess now we just have to change clothes" - Kaori said with a smile - "Come out, Cloud, we're going to put on our swimsuits".

"No, he's staying" - Yue said as her red eyes glowed slightly.

"I share Yue-dono's opinion, this is a good opportunity" - added Tio while a huge smile appeared on her face.

Shea didn't even say anything, she simply undressed in front of Cloud as she lifted her big chest proudly.

Shizuku gave her best friend a look as she thought about what to do. Out of the 5 of them, it was the two of them who didn't have that intimate connection with the blond, and looking at the current situation, this might be a good opportunity to take the next step, though just thinking about this situation made her cheeks burn from embarrassment.

"G-Girls, r-remember we have to go back to Myu-chan's!" - Kaori said with a red face, after all, she still wasn't quite ready to do that kind of thing.

"Cloud, pass her the sub to go while the rest of us take care of a certain problem" - said Yue with a rather suggestive tone, then looked at Shizuku - "Do you want to accompany Kaori-san?"

Shizuku gave the vampire girl a glance, then looked at her friend and asked her what she wanted to do.

Kaori quickly became serious and walked in front of Cloud and took off her clothes, revealing her delicate body, which may not have been the most seductive of the group, but it had the curves to be able to ignite the flame of passion in anyone who could see it.

Cloud was silent as he felt that the situation was a little strange, not taking that away, he was sure that something was going on because he could tell how the expression of Yue, Tio, and Shea, was too excited, as if something was increasing their sexual appetite.

He quickly began to check the surroundings, though he didn't find anything strange, what Cloud didn't understand, was that the girls weren't being affected by some external agent, they just wanted to de-stress after seeing all those horrible things in the maze.

"Kaori..." - Shizuku said as she looked at her friend, so she quickly followed the instructions of the rest, after all, she didn't like to lose, much less be left out.

* * * * *

The next day, Cloud was returning to Erisen in the submarine.

The girls were sleeping inside the marine vehicle with a small smile on their lips, well, all but Kaori and Shizuku, who despite being relaxed, had a slight frown on their brows from the discomfort they felt in their lower parts.

There was no need to explain what had happened, no need to go into details either, Cloud had done what every man would do in a situation like that.

"What's on your mind, Cloud?" - Tio asked with a flirtatious tone. Of all the girls, she was by far the most resilient and the one who showed the most emotions during their passion ritual, all thanks to the resonance between their races. The [Dragon-Men] had decided since the birth of the first of them, that they would become the servants of the dragons, this was not because the progenitor of the race had forced them, but because it was ingrained deep in their instincts, that's why Tio was so elated, she had finally fulfilled the main goal of her race's existence and it honestly turned her on to feel that she was being submitted by the blond in front of her.

Cloud raised an eyebrow as he could feel how Tio was starting to heat up from the excitement she was feeling - "Calm down"

"I'm sorry" - Tio muttered as she gave him an embarrassed smile, more when she felt how her intimacy seemed to be soaking wet - "I'm showing you an appearance that isn't worthy of a consort"

"That's not why I meant it" - Cloud replied as he shook his head - "I understand what you're feeling because it's not the first time I've seen someone with draconic blood, experience what you're feeling, although you need to start improving your self-control, after all, without this one we're nothing but wild animals"

Tio was silent for a few seconds before nodding. She slowly took a breath as she tried to calm the passion that had been ignited, and though it cost, she succeeded.

Cloud smiled slightly because he had realized that the [Semi-Humans] of this world were much more connected to their instincts, that's why it was twice as impressive that Tio managed to calm down with a few simple words.

"How far are we from Erisen?" - Tio asked curiously.

"Not very far, the underwater cave was closer than we thought" - Cloud answered while frowning - "Which surprises me because we didn't detect it during our one-way trip to the sunken ruins."

"In fact, we can't detect it now that we got out, it's impressive to see how skilled the liberators were" - added Tio as she started to think - "Anyway, I'd like to ask you a question"

"Speak" - Cloud said calmly.

"Did you find any signs of the person who modified the maze?" - Tio asked while frowning.

"No, it's actually a bit worrisome" - answered Cloud while shaking his head - "I have my suspicions, though they are nothing more than that because I didn't find anything to confirm or deny my hypotheses"

"Oh? And which one would that be?" - asked Tio curiously.

"The one responsible was Meiru-san's sister" - answered Cloud seriously - "She told me that to activate the modification of the labyrinth, you need her genetic code, although there's a problem, she had no offspring, and according to Oscar, her sister disappeared while still a child."

"I'm a little confused" - Tio said while frowning - "If your hypothesis is correct, why didn't Meiru-dono wake up at that time so I could see her?"

"Honestly, I'm not sure, though if I had to give a reason, it's possible it's because she was still weak" - Cloud replied while thinking - "Do you remember when we entered the maze?"

Tio thought carefully as she recalled that moment, only to open her eyes, surprised as she remembered a detail - "The pentagram that absorbed your mana, that was the way she woke up."

"Yes, I'm sure it was at that moment when Meiru-san regained consciousness" - Cloud answered while nodding - "As for why it didn't absorb the mana of Meiru-san's sister, it's possible because the labyrinth recognized the genetic code of its creator, although this, as I said, is just my theory."

"Which is the one that best explains our current situation" - Tio replied as she started to think - "Although if it's true, then we have a problem, we don't know if she's an ally or an enemy"

"I'm not sure either, though for now we can only wait until the time is right and he or she shows himself or herself to us" - Cloud said neutrally.
